This is deeply personal to me. My dad, a combat pilot in two wars, spent more than 2 decades trying to prove that his extreme hearing loss was related to his military service. Why should vets have to fight the very government they served?

Holy shit. Rand Paul just said he opposes health care for veterans because they can’t prove they got their health problems while serving. twitter.com/atrupar/status…

Because Republicans hate government programs, and Democrats adore means-testing and making sure only the most deserving people get government programs. Universal healthcare would go a long way to solving this problem. Alas.

That’s funny- my Dad had severe hearing loss and the audiologist asked if he was in the service (yes, Army, 20yrs). Guess it’s common!

I bet Rand Paul also thinks the dwindling recruitment numbers are related to Wokeness and not We-Don't-Care-About-You-ness.

Your net worth is $31-million, you own 6 cars, 5 homes, have a monthly income of $110,000, your salary as a senator is $181,000. You have the best healthcare in the country, but deny necessary healthcare to our veterans. You don't care about people, only money & power.

I know my Dad and my 3 uncles would be in shock if they were alive today. I’m actually glad they’re not here to witness any of these fascists. #VetsResist
